BEAUTY IS BACK
From statement blush and glossy lips to graphic liner and bold lips, here are the summer makeup trends you’re going to be seeing everywhere.
Although having undergone an 18+ month hiatus with makeup, we’re happy to report that beauty is back - and in a big way. No longer a need for a quick 5-minute zoom ready face, no more ‘no makeup’ makeup looks and thankfully no masked-smudged lipstick. Instead, this summer is all about being able to express yourself through makeup.
Think colour (and lots of it!), a much-needed dose of fun when it comes to application and technique, glossy lips and bold, playful eyes. In fact, the only rule this summer seems to be that there are none. But if you need a starting point for diving into the return of beauty, we’ve got plenty of makeup ideas to get you started.
So unzip your makeup bag, grab your brushes, and keep scrolling - because we have rounded up the best of the summer 2022 makeup trends. From graphic liner to statement blush, here are the looks to try now. Plus, the makeup that will help you recreate them.
FOUNDATION IS BACK
Today’s genius foundation formulas mean you can have the best of both worlds, weightless, hydrating formulas and clever light-diffusing particles to help conceal and perfect whilst ensuring it looks natural. There has never been a better selection to choose from, whatever your foundation type, shade or coverage preference we have something for everyone this summer.

BLUE IS THE COLOUR
Blue eyeshadow first came onto the beauty scene in the 1960s with creamy, Twiggy-inspired pastels. Fast forward twenty years and deeper shades were worn up to the brows during the 1980s. And of course, in the early 2000s, frosted baby blue shades reigned supreme. For 2022, however, blue eyeshadow is back. Whether worn as a bold statement eye, as a pop of colour in the inner corner or as matte wing, blue will be on every lid this summer.

STATEMENT BLUSH
After months of sitting inside with bare faces, bold statement blush - and even over- blushing - is one of this season’s biggest makeup trends. Brighter colour choices like bold peach, punchy pink and even radiant reds are taking centre stage. The way you should apply blush is also changing for this trend. Apply to the apple of the cheek and pull into the temple and into the crease of the eye.
SHOP THE TREND:
HIGH SHINE
Synonymous with the 1990s, lip gloss has been making a slow but steady return for some time now. But it seems this summer is the time to truly embrace the trend with Pinterest reporting searches for lip gloss are up by 144 per cent. Whether worn nude or over a bold red lip, be sure to top with a gloss for ultimate shine.

THE NEW LINE
Once upon a time, the only way to wear eyeliner was with an angled wing. However, for summer 2022 - just about any shape goes. Whether it’s a floating above the lid straight line, a subtle fox eye or a bold graphic shape, you’ll want the sharpest felt tip liner to help you achieve the look.

RED RETURNS
Though we may reach for more subtle shades such as nudes and pinks for everyday use, red lipstick is a colour worth having in your lipstick arsenal. With its classic, timeless appeal, red lipstick transcends seasons as its stapled itself as a forever trend. Whether you prefer gloss or matte, sheer or full-coverage, get ready to wear red again.
